Miyamoto's eulogy for the WiiU - "People didn't understand the system"

[King Sun]

To be honest I expected something like this come out OG Ken Kutrugi

Im talkin bout vs the WiiU..theres games that come on the PS3 and Xbox360 that they still wont put on the WiiU and they all bout equal when it comes to power .

Oh. Then that's a good point. But I actually heard the Wii U was barely able to keep up with the 360/PS3 when it came to certain games.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

That and Wii U owners don't get up for anything that isn't a mascot game (Mario.Zelda.Donkey Kong).

Yeah this is a another good point. That's the reason why Black Ops 2 sold like sh*t on the Wii U and there was hardly anyone online for it. That's another reason why third party devs don't give a sh*t about releasing games for the Wii U.

I blame marketing alot more than anything else (outsideof lack of 3rd party support)...it was launching and yet assasains creed was advertised everywhere, never saw a single wii u ad.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

They do need some new IPs, and they do need 3rd party support but the idea that their first party games can't sell consoles is false. Any time they drop a first party game sales spike. The problem is they haven't dropped basically anything during the life of the Wii-U. There's no reason for it to be 3 years later, and no "Zelda".

Fred.

Sure there's a spike in sales.

Obviously I wasn't saying they literally don't sell consoles anymore. What I ment is that they aren't must have games to the majority of gamers like they used to be.

If Wii u had some games that people felt like they cant miss, then 3rd party support wouldn't matter as much.

Nope. How the hell do Xbox 360 and PS3 get alot of these games yet Nintendo gets the shaft?..

the Wii U is hard to port for, Nintendo doesn't communicate well enough with third party devs

Most people bought it to play first party games, no one really wants weak ports of watch dogs and ass creed. shyt like Kingdom Hearts 3 would sell well on a Nintendo system but they keep making underpowered hardware

We'll see next year, but I hope the NX doesn't end up being their last console
